Top US university Yale, has become the latest to introduce gender-neutral bathrooms.

The college does so amid a battle over transgender rights in which legislation has been passed to limit trans bathroom rights in several states.

The college was announced ahead of the 315th commencement at the Ivy League school which will take place on Monday.

There will be 332 gender neutral bathrooms across the college's New Haven campus, and the college will allow students to use their preferred pronouns and let students easily change their name on their identification cards. 
*****************************************
The better news is the university is recognizing transgender students and also including the covering the cost of Gender Reassignment Surgery in their Student Health Insurance.. Way to go Yale!

Wow!  Considering the number of influential people that have come through Yale in the past,  perhaps this will in turn influence future movers and shakers in the right direction.

We can only hope...

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.
